Day with Mommy

Yesterday was fun. My mom, lola and tita came over to visit. (Yay!) And after WEEKS of hardcore stress, I have finally had my "day-off" yesterday (I am doing the laundry while I write this, literally!) when my mom and I went to the mall, to just, you know, go around and shop and window-shop. It was a simple outing, yet a meaningful sharing of thoughts, ideas and experiences between me and my mom. Overall, the feeling was refreshing and to a point, invigorating. Thank you Mom for the time you spent with me yesterday. Needed that.

Food + Shopping + Mom = PERFECT DAY-OFF

Job. Quit. Job.

Last week was pretty challenging for me. I almost quit. My job, that is.

It has been an ongoing battle for me. I have a very moody boss, who, if I choose to understand, is the way he is because of his responsibilities. It should not be the case, but that's the way it is. It was a fight or flight.

There was one instance where he was giving me feedback and using such harsh words. No, he didn't use curse words but he might as well have. I was working very hard. Even after hours (which I realize now that I shouldn't be doing - another post on work ethics and personal space). But after I heard his feedback, it was like all my work went down the drain. I was frustrated, disappointed and disheartened. Then finally I decided. I messaged my boss and told him that I'd quit. Thanking him for the opportunity yada yada yada. All these, while crying.

First he said okay, then probably changed his mind and said that he still encourages me to stay. In a way, he apologized. And gave me time to think.

I thought about it and weighed my options. I had other available work waiting for me, but you see, its very hard for me to "move on" when I've finally made my way through a job. So after all the debate with myself, I chose to stay. I'm still hoping that this is the better choice.

Praying, by the way, is a constant during these times. This is my ultimate shield. Against everything else, including myself. Thank You God!

I'm a blogger, yeah!

And because I'd like to join something, here goes..

- THE END -

Oh hi blog! Great to see yah!

I know, i know. I have been on a fairly long vacation and haven't written since i-dont-know-when. A lot has happened actually, so I didnt have the time to really sit and blog about it. So far, most of what happened the past few months have been really great and things to be thankful for.
I got to see the hubby last month, which was really exciting for me. Not all that i wished to happen, happened. But it was fruitful nonetheless. I WAS with my husband, what else could I wish for?
We bought a new car, which again, is another exciting (but laborious) thing. I got in and out of a cool job. Planning now to revive our food business, but still in the works. Though I'm feeling that I am being called for something else. Something exciting. I'll tell you in the blogs to come. (crossing fingers ^_^)

Goodbye my i.ph blogs

Eversince I've decided to start writing my thoughts on the world wide web, I have begun writing on an i.ph. But now that they've finally decided to close down, I am at loss for words (and ways!). One of my most visited blogs are on i.ph! But hey, life goes on. Right now, I'm trying to find a way to easily transfer all my existing posts to another blogspot site.

If I only knew... a faster, better way... 

Any help would do! Please!

Apples!

This post is dedicated to our "bonuses" from God. :)

I don't mean to brag but I'm loving my gadgets. I'm officially addicted to Apple now. But I still love my Blackberry. It's one of the birthday presents from the hubby :)

My kids love the apples too!

Used my "most amazing iPhone ever" to take this :) LOL

I need HALPZZ!

The past few days have been really hard for me, household-wise. You see, I'm yaya-less once again. I don't exactly know why the yayas we get have not been as loyal as they used to be. I keep thinking if I have faults, maybe so, maybe not. But when I put myself on their shoes, I could consider myself lucky. I live in a small house, meaning lesser chores. I HELP with the chores, like laundry, general cleaning, etc. I give FREEBIES monthly, like toiletries, food, clothes, etc. So I wonder.

The household chores are not at all hard. It just takes time and patience, since my past yayas have hidden UNDONE stuff, so my work gets doubled. The thing is, my 1-year old baby girl is TOO CLINGY now. She'll start to cry when she doesn't see me by her side, that it's even hard to go to the loo.

Not sure, if its a phase (which I'm hoping it is) or there might be some underlying psychological reason? The usual stuff I do, like morning and bathtime rituals, are now extinct. I can't do stuff for myself, much more for the chores. So I'm left with a mountain-like laundry, a really dusty house, a dry garden, and undone house projects.

I wish I had help.

Help me?
